A colleague of mine some years ago had to have some scientific gear fixed in Switzerland. By the time it was finished he was in Switzerland himself and so decided to just take the thing back with him. Of course at the airport he had to unpack his case, and when he innocently told the security people that they were looking at an "ion gun", there was some commotion. I forgot if he missed his flight or not, but for the story, let's assume he did.

Sigh!

People are suspicious these days. Recently I saw a sign saying "FOUND CAT", a Phone Number and "MUST DESCRIBE". Like there are people going around claiming cats that aren't theirs. I was tempted to call them up and say it tastes like chicken.

Good to know that US bureacrats are as hopeless as the European ones !

How do you know your otherwise veggie animals were not fed fish meal, blood meal, tallow or other animal protein by their keepers?

Personnally, I don't believe in eating meat that eats meat. I only eat vegetarian animals.

This seems silly. For example, free-range chickens eat grubs. And as Spehro says, typical commercial (factory) farmed meat is fed all manner of disgusting things. See, for example, mad cow disease!

Also, most or perhaps all edible fish eat other sea-animals. I wouldn't let this stop me from eating them. Especially wild salmon, which is nutritious and delicious, and as humane as any meat.

Just wondering. Personally, I used to be a vegetarian, but now I eat meat. I try to stick to grass-fed buffalo, organic free-range chicken, and wild fish. Especially salmon, which is also very low in mercury.

But at restaurants, I eat whatever kind of beef or chicken they serve.

Whereas NAFTA is established law, CAFTA (Central America) is just now being considered. SAFTA must still be on the drawing boards.

There's the problem, they ordered a non-standard value.

As suspected, "The following information is required by DigiKey, so that we may comply with US Export Laws." The stupid thing is, DigiKey knows very well these simple parts are *not* export-controlled items.

Exactly, mad cow disease is caused by meat eating meat. And animal cannibalism should definitely be banned. It's a vector for taking a one diseased animal and spreading the disease to the entire population.

It's okay for fish to eat fish.

You guys are right. I can't really enforce anything. But no dogs,cats, tigers or rats.

Paul C

I don't know, and there isn't much I can do about it. I still think it's a vector for disease.

Nope, 1.21GW is the bog-standard size for flux-capacitors.
